I know I’m about 18 months out of date.
Randomly picking stuff from the game pass options, gave this a spend for a few hours.

It’s basically an XCOM ‘em up with some exploration and stealth mechanics.

I’m an XCOM veteran. Actually, I’m a rebelstat/laser squad/X-COM first time around veteran.

I’m not brilliant, but I get the game mechanics.

Has anyone else found this really bd hard? As in “save scumming every turn and still getting murdered” hard? Even with the difficultly turned right down?

Hadn't played games like that before but I do like strategy. Loved it to begin with but yes the difficulty curve accelerated quicker than my skills did to the point it wasn't enjoyable.

I had another go, and it’s getting a bit better.
The key appears to be to obtain/upgrade silent weapons so that you can drop minions in one round.

It’s still unforgiving. I’d like some melee weapons actually.

Yeah, it's really tough.
I got to one level I just can't do, can't figure it out at all.
